Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 5:42 pm Jim, I would definitely keep that one in a 2x2, because of it being in such great shape. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

JimNWLincoln Pillar of the Community United States 912 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 9:24 pm Nothing like an old cent/penny with a mint state luster.... Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 9:43 pm To get the best pic of a toned coin , lighting is everything. Try a single light source close to your lens , then tilt the coin towards the light till the coin pops. Here is one of my toned coins . One pair of shots is just average lighting, the other pair was shot to make the colors pop ! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 10:36 pm Main problem here is the "sneezing" carbon spots, which just kills this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 10:49 pm Isn't that the truth.... Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 10:52 pm It's a shame for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 11:07 pm I think Verdi-Care could greatly improve this coin, with the spots. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/08/2019 01:25 am I'd leave it alone. When you doctor a coin, it doesn't always help the coin. This one is one I would leave alone. If they are carbon spots, they won't come off. If they are sneeze droplets, they won't come off. So the best thing to do is to do nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/08/2019 07:37 am I second that , the spots won't come off . Report this Post to the Staff

Novicecoins Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 06/09/2019 9:23 pm Are these what they consider the Rainbow tone ? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/09/2019 9:31 pm Which coin are you referring to? What is a "rainbow tone" ? Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8939 Posts	Posted 06/09/2019 9:37 pm Rainbow Tone is a general term for a vibrent toned coin. So I suppose yes. Report this Post to the Staff
